Dr. Patil is a distinguished figure in the realm of medical research, hailed
for his remarkable contributions across various disciplines. With a career
spanning several groundbreaking projects, Dr. Patil has established himself
as an exceptional scientist, garnering recognition for his innovative
methodologies and transformative developments in medical technology.
Early in his career (2008), Dr. Patil developed a pioneering wet lab model
for Endourology residents to train in renal pyeloplasty without stress. This
success laid the foundation for his future endeavors. He was an integral
part of multiple core teams, contributing significantly to the
standardization of procedures in various medical domains, including cataract
surgery in dogs, interlocking nails for dogs, and trans-carotid external
iliac stenting in rabbit models.
One of Dr. Patil's remarkable achievements was in 2012 when he played a
pivotal role in the creation of the world's first tissue-engineered vein and
trachea scaffold. This groundbreaking technology was successfully
transplanted into patients, marking a significant milestone in medical
history and gaining recognition with publication in The Lancet.
He has worked in several NGOs for animal welfare in different states and
same efforts in welfare of animals were seen in Lab animal science where he
was instrumental in developing modified restraining chair for non-human
primates, low mortality animal models in rodents and refined techniques of
bone marrow collection in dogs.
His collaborative efforts extended internationally, evidenced by his
involvement in developing a modified protocol for uterus transplantation in
a baboon model with the Cleveland Clinic Surgical Team in 2016. Dr. Patil
also contributed significantly to the establishment of India's first monkey
research Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) facility at Zydus Research Center in
2018, and establishing MNVT protocol for vaccine testing (WHO requirement
for exporting vaccine) in nonhuman primates showcasing his commitment to
advancing research infrastructure.
Throughout his career, Dr. Patil's relentless pursuit of innovation led to
several technological advancements, including the development of Autosense
Tissue Engineering Bioreactors and bubble trappers (2015). He also
contributed to the establishment of a wet and dry lab for laparoscopy in
Mumbai Veterinary College and a biobank for transplantation-related human
samples in Gothenburg University, Sweden (2009).
Dr. Patil's contributions weren't confined solely to technological
advancements. His expertise and leadership were recognized through awards
and grants, including the Best Teacher Award (2023), Grant from
International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation, Sweden, and other
research grants. He also been awarded with an O-1 visa by the US government
in the extraordinary scientist category. His commendable efforts were
acknowledged through numerous awards for teaching, presentations, and
research excellence.
Dr. Patil's relentless commitment to scientific progress, coupled with his
multidisciplinary approach and remarkable achievements, stands as a
testament to his invaluable contributions to the field of medical science.
His passion lies in policy development for strengthening the nation. He has
a professional background in veterinary medicine, and he possess a
comprehensive understanding of various fields, which enables him to work for
One Health Concept.
